Fall Asleep to the Life of of Tyrion Lannister | The Lion Who Survived Them All

He was born in a castle above the western sea, and the birth took his mother, and no one who was present ever fully forgave him for it. This is the complete story of Tyrion Lannister — from the mismatched eyes and the cold Rock to the crossbow bolt in the privy, from the boy who stood in the throne room looking at Balerion’s skull to the man who sailed across the Narrow Sea with everything he had destroyed and everything he had built collapsing behind him. The girl on the road to the Vale, and the two weeks that followed, and the thing Tywin did when he found out — and the deeper thing Jaime told him twenty years later in a tunnel, in the dark, that made the wound larger than he had known. The sky cells of the Eyrie, and the confession that confessed to nothing, and the sellsword in the back of the room who raised his hand. The wildfire chain — the trap, the chain, the green fire on the Blackwater, the sortie out of the gate that no one expected him to lead. The trial, and Shae’s testimony, and Oberyn walking into the space between Tyrion and death and dying in it. The privy. The crate on the ship. The wound underneath all the other wounds: a boy who wanted someone to look at him the right way, who was told at thirteen that the only person who ever had was paid to do it. He was wrong about that. He found out too late. He is still asking where she went.
